Introduction: The Best Sailing
|
 |
|
The Abacos: Known among yachters for their many anchorages, sheltered coves, and plentiful marine facilities, the Abacos are considered one of the most perfect sailing areas in the world. You can charter boats of all shapes and sizes for a week or longer, with or without a crew. Major charter centers are located in Marsh Harbour and Hope Town. Arrange for rentals with The Moorings (tel. 800/535-7289 or 242/367-4000), in Marsh Harbour.
The Exumas: Each April, the Exumas host the famed Family Island Regatta, the most popular sailing event in The Bahamas. Elizabeth Harbour is a mecca for yachters, who explore nearby deserted islands and cays, secluded bays, safe anchorage harbors, and secret coves. Even in winter, unless the weather turns unexpectedly bad (and foul weather is usually short-lived), the seas are balmy and the temperatures ideal. Yachting magazine praises the Exumas for having the finest cruising areas in The Bahamas.
